Talk:Cornelis H. A. Koster

Notoriety?
Is this person really worth having a page about? The page is pretty weak and it does not seem like Koster has done anything profound. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.56.203.75 (talk) 23:33, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * IMHO this person / article is relevant. I knew him personally, his was involved in ALGOL 68 design and is one of the coauthors of the Revised Report, he has designed other languages like CDL2/3, etc. For the moment, see his personal homepage. I will look how to augment the article.Gfis (talk) 19:22, 5 April 2008 (UTC)


 * He also founded the computer science department at Nijmegen university (with some help, no doubt). Rp (talk) 13:47, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I've also known Kees for a long time. Being an editor of the Algol68 report would be enough to ensure his place in informatics history. Although never itself becoming a viable language, Algol68 had a huge influence on procedural language design and compiler construction. I've also added a note on his work on Affix Grammars, which is one of the sources of the Prolog language and hence Logic Programming. kovesp (talk) 21:48, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
